2009 Chevrolet Traverse oil — questions before buying

Can I use 10W-30 or 5W-40 instead of 5W-30 in my 2009 Chevrolet Traverse?
The checked source rows on this page list 5W-30 for the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse. Use 5W-30 unless your owner's manual, oil cap, or service information for your exact engine allows another grade. If a retailer suggests 10W-30 or 5W-40, match the engine row first and confirm the grade before buying.
Did the Chevrolet Traverse change its recommended oil viscosity across model years?
Yes. Checked records show the Chevrolet Traverse has specified more than one viscosity grade across model years. 2009–2023: 5W-30; 2024–2025: 0W-20. Confirm the viscosity shown on this page matches your exact year before buying oil.
